If so, are you arming yourself with the right list of questions to ask?

Ask any potential supplier:

How can the supplier make sure that as your Talent needs progress, the Talent Management software can continue to support you?

You may have fallen foul in the past to limited availability or uptime of Talent Management software. What should you be looking for?

Is there a guarantee with Talent Management software?

To what extent are you able to be self-sufficient in the day-to-day usage and customisation of the software?

And when you do have problems, how are you supported?

How often will the software be updated and what do you need to budget for this?

Security may be a real concern for you. What safeguards does the supplier have?

How does the supplier notify customers regarding the software updates?
